Chic Cream Looks: Elle Fanning Promotes Predator: Badlands in Bottega Veneta and The Row, Styled with Tod’s Pumps and Valentino Mules

Elle Fanning’s newest project, Predator: Badlands, has given fans plenty to talk about—but her press-tour wardrobe might be the real headline.

As she promotes the sci-fi film, Elle has been delivering a masterclass in refined, soft-glam dressing, stepping out in impeccably styled looks anchored by sculptural pumps, delicate mules, and polished fall neutrals.

Her appearances throughout New York showcase exactly why she’s become a red-carpet and street-style favorite: effortless tailoring, romantic textures, and thoughtful shoe choices that elevate every outfit.

Predator: Badlands is the ninth installment in the Predator franchise. It follows Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young outcast Predator who crash-lands on a deadly planet in hopes of proving himself by hunting the unkillable Kalisk.

Along the way, he teams up with Thia (Elle Fanning), a damaged Weyland-Yutani synthetic. The two find themselves up against an apex creature that tests the survival instincts of both humans and Predators.

Elle Fanning’s press tour looks were far from the disheveled, synthetic android she plays in the movie. Instead, each appearance showcases her refined, put-together style.

On Live with Kelly & Mark, she borrowed a touch of menswear charm, stepping out in a creamy Bottega Veneta suit with matching Tod’s pumps. A few days earlier, she went for something more romantic, wearing a sheer Valentino dress with a sleek coat from The Row and black mules. Here’s a closer look at her outfits.

1. Soft Power Dressing: Bottega Veneta Suit & Tod’s Sculptural Pumps

Elle Fanning stepped out in a creamy, menswear-inspired look from Bottega Veneta’s Spring 2026 collection for her Live with Kelly & Mark appearance. While the oversized silhouette nearly swallowed her frame, I found the effect chic.

The suit had this retro, borrowed-from-the-boys attitude that felt relaxed but still elevated. She looked as if she had just walked straight out of a minimalist ’90s editorial. Her long coat, in soft cream color, added structure and drama to her look. I’ve always found this a tricky color, as it can easily wash someone out, but on Elle it created a clean, luminous contrast with her blonde hair and fair skin.

Its peaked lapels sharpened the neckline, while the lightly padded shoulders added just enough definition for a balanced, tailored shape. The loose, fluid sleeves kept the look relaxed, and the ankle-skimming hem created an elegant, elongated line that subtly lengthened Elle’s silhouette.

Underneath, she wore a light blue shirt with a crisp white collar. The cool tones broke up the monochromatic palette just right, giving the look depth while remaining cohesive with the creamy coat and pants. Her tapered tie-waist trousers kept everything relaxed yet polished.

Chic Add-Ons: The Small Veneta Bag, Knot Aviators, and Tod’s Decolette Pumps

For accessories, she carried Bottega Veneta’s $4,300 “Small Veneta” bag, crafted from rich brown Intrecciato leather. The hand-woven design added texture to the look, and the warm tone contrasted nicely with the cream palette. She kept her jewelry minimal, wearing only a ring, so the outfit’s clean lines remained in focus.

Adding instant star power, she hid her eyes behind the $760 black Bottega “Knot” aviators. Their sleek shape and glossy finish gave the outfit a subtle dose of attitude.

On her feet were Tod’s “Decolette” pumps in off-white leather. Minimalist yet beautifully sculpted, the shoes featured elongated vamps that refined the silhouette and 2.9-inch wooden heels that added a quiet, architectural element. They complemented the outfit’s palette, keeping the overall look refined, cohesive, and understated.

These Tod’s shoes are on sale for $822 (from $1,175) at Mytheresa.

2. Romantic Fall Elegance: The Row Coat, Valentino Lace Dress & Valentino Bow Mules

For her appearance on Good Morning America earlier this month, Elle Fanning stepped out in yet another cream-toned look. She wore The Row’s “Regino” coat, crafted in Italy from virgin wool with a smooth silk lining.

The coat looked luxurious, featuring an oversized cocoon silhouette that wrapped softly around her frame, finished with a sculptural opera collar, slanted welt pockets, and horn buttons that kept the shape clean and modern. With its plush texture and effortless drape, it’s easy to see why it has a $5,350 price tag at Mytheresa.

While her outerwear kept the look intentionally mysterious, the moment she stepped inside the studio, she revealed the romantic layer beneath: a sheer-lace Valentino Resort 2026 dress with a plunging neckline and delicate ruffled trims tracing the collar, cuffs, and hem.

Simple Styling, Striking Shoes: Valentino’s Corset-Laced Yolande Mules

Elle kept her styling simple. Her hair was worn down, with the front section swept back in a loose half-up look, while her features were highlighted with her signature soft pink makeup.

She skipped a necklace in favor of a few understated rings, including the Cartier Broderie De Cartier ring.

A pair of Valentino Garavani “Yolande” mules completed her ensemble. They were made of black satin and featured a dramatic bow detail and a corset-style lacing at the vamp. They also boasted a gold-tone VLogo atop the 4.1-inch heels.

You can get these mules for $1,250 at Farfetch.
